Re: Choosing a Battery

I suggest you use an empirical method to solve this problem. Get a $25 flooded lead acid battery designed for riding mowers (I think the size is U1) or the sealed type of that size used for mobility scooters, and see how it does. If it's too small, then get a normal marine battery, or run two of the U1 size in parallel.
